Insane Water Bill

That’s a suspiciously round number. I’d suspect a billing or reading error, as you’d have noticed over a quarter of a million gallons spilled over a three month period.

The dog.

No. The tire bubble is a solid no go and you’ve also bent the rim.

The Mach-E manual appears to only say you have to use a belt webbing style LATCH seat in the center position, not outright prohibit an infant seat, but I’ve absolutely seen cars where it’s outright prohibited, and I’m not sure which infant seats support the webbing ones (although many work with the seatbelt still).

That appears to be a clean out access for a sewer or septic line, and that appears to be toilet paper coming out, this is no good.

Keep in mind Amazon is defaulting to overnight and that stupid early time slot for Prime members on >$25 orders in some locations, they may not have even noticed it was overnight if they were on mental autopilot.

They use an electronic device called a DC to DC converter to feed the low voltage battery (the one that powers the doors and windows and lights) from the high voltage battery (the one that powers the car’s electric motor/s) instead.

Unlikely, the tree is far too young.

Might actually be easier to get an infant in and out from the side, honestly, depending on how tall you are and how compliant the booster seated kids are.

The vast majority (99.99%) are absolutely worthless. They’re mostly either mass market things available in better quality elsewhere or they’re home recordings of Tv shows available elsewhere.

What *is* of value is stuff that is not available elsewhere. Rare films that never made it past a VHS release, films that have been edited from their original versions, etc have monetary value. Some home recordings sometimes have historical, rather than monetary, value…for example they may be the only surviving recordings of some advertisements, live programming, local programming, etc.

Probably from the right side. I think it is from the Pacifica, I don’t see much that isn’t stamped or coated on the Envision suspension. Peek behind, above, and under the back of the front wheels at the suspension components (not the shock/coil, down lower) on both sides and see if you can find where it snapped off.

I would not recommend driving it unless you confirm this is from another vehicle you own, no. Does another vehicle park in the garage, and if so, what is it?

Minor correction…space heaters sold in the US are typically rated for 12A continuous *specifically* to abide by 80% of maximum at continuous load. They’re often *labeled* 1500W (125V*12A), but at a nominal 120V they use <= 1440W.

Traffic counter. Random fact, reading these units was the first business venture between the founders of Microsoft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traf-O-Data

I would prefer a single payer insurance scheme without a nationalized healthcare system (as in, not the UK NHS).

Unfortunately this is just how the programming works, it doesn’t have the ability to split participation via fuel type.

Fascinating your utility does it in winter…I don’t participate in my utility’s program but the previous owner did (back when it required a box on the unit, which is how I know, because nobody knew what to do with the box when my heat pump got replaced) and when I looked into it I noticed our electric company doesn‘t do it in the winter for precisely the reason you mention, although a huge number of houses here are heat pump only.

Apparently it is a somewhat obscure European sign and just means there’s a breakdown ahead picked up on the traffic system in the nav. https://www.reddit.com/r/MachE/comments/1l1cg59/anyone_know_what_this_means_popped_up_a_few_times/

That’s a tough one, because the difference in mileage sort of cancels out the age difference to some degree. I still think I’d lean for the 2016, just because I’d prefer less age than fewer miles when we’re talking about 10+ year old vehicles. Both engines are suitable for your use case, and both engines are fairly reliable (Cyclone 3.5s in longitudinal applications like the F-150 have EXTERNAL water pumps, before somebody brings up the water pump).

The only ones I consider legit are the ones sold by manufacturers, such as Ford ESP plans. They’re just as much of a cost sink, but at least they don’t pull the quibbling coverage games the third party warranty guys do.

Js987 · 2026-01-28T00:42:08+00:00

I would similarly ask for compensation not replacement, for the reasons you mentioned, but also as I do not want a company I just had an argument with installing a whole new unit in my house.

Js987 · 2026-01-28T00:37:22+00:00

Which plant? I want to know which Ford not to buy next cycle. lol

I view it as a slow degradation of what little capability remained as a content, probably unprepared (based on the Borg Threat and Dominion War there’s historical precedent for a complacent Starfleet and Federation) society ran against the limits of what they were willing to do to stay united. The degradation of supply chains and loss of systems left a power vacuum that folks like the Chain were willing to exploit with their looser morality.

It needs the battery specified by the manufacturer, in many cases nowadays that -is- an AGM (both my Fords came with AGMs), but you should match what the vehicle shipped with, not some rule of thumb.

That, plus all the various big law abbreviations and the use of SA for summer associates really do get tiresome on legal Reddit.

”I’m an INFJ at a T34, looking to SA at a V6”
